does this pump work for blow up pools?

I would say yes but it probably depends on the size of the pool. I use it to fill a lake reft that's about 10ft by 10ft with no problem.

Yes it will work but a little overkill for a pool that size 1.5hp should be plenty.hope this helps

I would suspect so: inflating pool-type toys and air mattresses is what this pump was primarily designed to do. I will qualify that with the fact I don't have an air mattress.

i use this pump to pump out the winter cover for my in ground pool. the water always has small pieces of leaves, debris and baby tadpoles in it. the pump handles it without clogging. it will clog if the debris is larger than a half inch and there is a lot of it.

It does not come with a pump. I didn't own a pump, so I used a leaf blower (haha, right?) but it blew it up within a couple minutes. I think this pool is worth buying.

No , it came with an attachment to use for a compressor or air pump but no pump and you cant blow it up without some sort of pump. Luckily my husband had an air compressor .

No... It is not powerful enough, it is really for inflatable pool side toys which is what I got it to do for inflate and deflate each

No. I have a 15 ft. pool and this pump works well for it, but for a bigger pool I don't believe it would not do so well.

The pump is pretty powerful. Don't know if I'd use it on balloons. We used it to inflate toys for the pool.

That's actually what I use this pump for. It fills it up pretty well, but the best part is it deflates it faster and better so that you can fold it up better

I don't think that it would be useful for that purpose at all. It takes a lot of pumping to blow up a small animal balloon. A foot pump might work really well for a pool, though:Texsport Deluxe High-Volume Bellows Air Pump

The hose is pretty strong and durable. I doubt the suction from the pump would be strong enough to crush (flatten) the hose. There is a small hole close to where the hose attaches; I imagine this is to keep pressure from getting too strong on inflates and deflates. I have had mine for two summers, inflating a medium size kid's pool many times. I've used the deflate option less, but it works well too. The pump is going strong.

Absolutely ... and quickly. I blew up all of my pool toys in about 15 minutes. (Although I've also seen that for larger items ... a huge pool, maybe? ... a shop vac also works.) But this is the best inflator I've found. The battery operated version didn't feel like it had much oomph ... though it still is better than using my lungs.

Yes it will work fine for pumping out a saltwater pool, simply rinse the unit off when your finished. The salt will only damage the unit if it is allowed to sit on the unit. It is a very durable unit I used it to drain a 1 acre pond for yearly maintenance and it was run 8hrs a day for 10 days straight. Keep and eye on the oil and change it as recommended!

I use it for an in ground pool and works perfect. It will also work for an above ground pool if you have the proper piping. All it does is, that the same pool pump you have runs the water through the panels before going back into the pool

No problem, I use it as a pool cover pump and sometimes I have it running dry all day. It's a GREAT PUMP. Just be careful of the plastic pipe parts. I buy extra plastic parts online.

I don't know, but unlike other intex pools I've had, it is more than enough pump for a pool this size. Caution: it does not like power surges. I will say intex was VERY quick to replace the fried one. Pool did not have time to turn (very) green.
